The Irish Courts
- Civil cases deal with disputes between individuals.
Criminal cases involve the prosecution of crimes.
- The District Court is the lowest court in the Irish court
system. It deals with more minor criminal offences and
civil cases involving sums of less than €6,348.69 (£5,000
in old Irish money).
- The Circuit Court deals with more
serious criminal offences and civil
cases involving greater amounts of
money.
- The High Court deals
with the most serious
civil and criminal
cases. When sitting as
a criminal court it is
called the Central
Criminal Court and
there is a jury.
- The Special Criminal Court is
used to try those accused of
being members of paramilitary
organisations such as the IRA, or
of leading organised crime.
- The Supreme Court is the
highest court in Ireland.
It usually hears
appeals about
technical points of law.
